Players I pardon in Tribunal #3

Acidz - 5 games against you!  In a way it counted in your favour.  In 5 games you said noob once. You weren't the strongest player, but I believe you are a credit to the community and don't deserve a punish.

1 pardon in 15... Oh well, we are making the community a better place.

Trying to get LOL to run from behind firewall, and copy #4

Finally success!

But I believe the big issue is none of the previously mentioned issues. To actually browse the ingame air client, the connection checks the internet proxy settings of internet explorer. Mine was still set to the proxy firewall's settings. Removing this worked a charm.

Other than d3dx9_39.dll I don't think I needed any of the other things to work. I doubt the registry is a train smash. You need Adobe Air (which you can download seperately), and perhaps Pando Network. Then just ensure your connection is running fine.

Players I pardon in Tribunal #2

I am going to have a list of player's I've pardoned in League of Legends Tribunal.  Know this.  If you get banned and I pardoned you, you are truly unfortunate.  I tend to punish lots of stuff.  "easy" "noobs" etc.  If you said that, you'd better have handled the rest of the team for the rest of the game(s) with lots of respect otherwise you're punished.  Anyway, so Naming and Shaming is illegal, that is why I am listing here summoner names from EU West, that come up in tribunal, that I pardon, not punish.  I will not publish a name that I punished as this is against the tribunal rules.


MrPatriarche It was tight, but your swearing etc. was not directed at anyone.  I could see you got angry, but you kept it in place well. Pardon from me.


7wtf8wtf9 Another tight one, but it seems you did call for help.  Try to swear less, "fat kids that dont have friends irl have to flame others in online games" Thankfully you stated it "generically".  You are so close to punish, it's not even funny, but I'll call pardon.


TGoG Hyperion Benefit of the doubt... You only had 2 games, and were borderline in both.  Try to get your frustration levels down when you are losing your lane.


justperfect You seem to have a knack for pissing your teammates off.  You're not outright rude, but people report you when they want someone to blame. Try to encourage the team more, and respect each others' wishes.  


I accidentally pressed pardon on another guy.  I meant to punish him :-(.

Majkutson close call, but you survived.  2nd Jungler pick is not great, but not bannable IMO. I would suggest you stay away from ranked/draft until you have full set of runes and can play Tank, AP carry, AD carry, Support and Jungler.

Lol... I had like 4 pardons today... but only started with this dude.  Anyway, hoping for this to become a regular thing... Though if I get the game running from here... probably less so. :D

Trying to get LOL to run from behind firewall, and copy #3

Ok, so I had the failures... I asked some questions, and I have some leads.

1st Lead: I posted on the EU forums and found out that one needs to run the installer... Now this obviously does *something*.  And I found out that it installs Pando Network onto the PC. I think this is used for bugreports etc. So I believe that the server may check for this as anti-cheating and perhaps as an additional way of knowing all is fine on the clientside PC.
2nd Lead: When I tried deleting it to install elsewhere, I found that I couldn't.  The owner of the files was BUILTIN: ADMINISTRATOR.  Right, so I believe it's because it came from a flashdrive. But I changed the owner of the folder to myself.  (Right click in the root, click security, Advanced, owner, change owner to (Replace owner of subcontainers and objects)..

So lets see if it worked!

Nope....

Comments from forum suggests that I need to have completed the original install, and only during patching copy the whole folder over... I'll try that tomorrow, asking my friend to get the full install file for me.

Trying to get LOL to run from behind firewall, and copy #2

Sigh, OK.  So I got dx9... .dll from a website, and placed it in \windows\system32  (I had it in the ...\league of legends\ folder first, but no dice).

So now, running from the phone connections (all other LAN connections disabled) I can get it to patch (it didn't download much, less than 1mb) perhaps doing some registry (there are some things now things in registry, but not a lot worth of "Riot Games" worth), but not yet connect to server.  I am unsure why I am not yet able to connect to the server, but I am going to post some forum questions or perhaps to help and support.

I also tried to "repair" the installation, dunno if that did anything productive, but it's still not connecting to the server.

Trying to get LOL to run from behind firewall, and copy

Right, so this is my first post in a series in the hope to get LOL (League of Legends) to run from a non-administrator, behind a firewall PC.

Ok, so bandwidth is a concern, as I don't want to raise too many concerns.  I copied LOL from my home PC folder and extracted some registry keys I thought might be appropriate, though RIOT seems not to be too dependent on the registry (good boys! I prefer it this way).  This is to reduce the bandwidth of actually downloading and patching the game.

Step one, run it... Oops... Firewall blocks it.  It complains of no HTTP access.  Ok, so I have access to a 3rd party external PC that I can tunnel through, but experience tells me I will not have sufficient speed through there to have a decent speed.  So I'll go via my own phone or 3g modem.

To do this I had to try to get my phone to tether (android Samsung Galaxy S+ --- it is remarkably hard to tether USB... strange anyway)...  For this I had to download the USB drivers, which I got here.

I disconnected the LAN connection (This ensures that I use the correct connection) Obviously this breaks all LAN stuff like mapped network drives etc. Next I check that the new connection is working... For this I just ping www.google.com from a command shell.  (Success, and pretty low pings too! 55ms average).

Then I run it...  (I run the lol.launcher.exe.)

It complains could not start as d3dx9_39.dll was not found... :-(((  Ok, Dx9 is 95mb... Will have to find out from someone if we already have that somewhere, as I don't want to download 95mb from here (or my phone)...
